Does anyone know of a documentary about men writing as women (aliases)? Like Marilyn Ross, Edwina Noone, et al.?

Beautiful books! I'm surprised no one has come out with an art book collection of the cover art for gothics.

i remember my parents having heaps of these growing up.

I so enjoyed you going through each book and telling something about each one. These old Gothic Romance paperbacks are my cup of tea. I have been collecting them since the 80's but now I wish I would have been looking for them harder. I have just under 200 books. I have only read a few of them because with the smaller print and yellow pages I have a difficult time reading them. I love the artwork on the covers. Thanks so much for posting this!

I love finding these gothics out and about in the stores. I used to find them often but the well has dried up as of late. Those Satanic Gothics just made it to the top of my wantlist. Didn't know they existed. Great video! You should post more often.

"Some of these ladies are lucky enough to have capes on as they run away from the house." LOL. They often published non-romance novels in Gothic Romance format. I remember a copy of Mary Robert's Rhinehart's "The Bat" in this format. Also a Norah Lofts novel with a male protagonist who was trying to murder his wife. Good stuff, and the Gothic format made it even better. Thank you so much for this video. I miss the old Gothics and never had any room to keep them. The covers were the best part.

Yesterday's Evil is lovely. I wouldn't mind hanging out there.

Hi, Adrian. These books are not available to me where I live but I am very interested in them. Would it be possible for u to do some review videos of some of them which u have read?

Nice piece on the comics. Some going for silly money these days. I'd love some but my budget for pulp/vintage horror etc is already stretched and if i spend any more that'll be me running from our house on the cover vigorously chased by my other half 😊

Nice collection. My mother use to buy these books 2 for a dollar at Woolworths during the 70’s.

2:17 She looks just like Paris Hilton!

The Devil's Gate is probably my fav out of these. Haven't seen it come up for sale.

i just read the minerva stone this week. i am on a mission to collect all of Anne Maybury's books.

SO PRETTTY❤

Just starting to get into this genre. Don't remember reading any of these but remember the cool gothic cover art. Thanks for posting!

Weren't these called 'bodice rippers?' At some point there was always some man hungrily ripping her bodice away exposing her milky white... well, you get the idea.

whats your ebay?

these are all so nice i wish books still had this aesthetic

My mother had a lot of these. I remember seeing so many of them as a child.

I enjoy looking at these wild covers SO much! There must have been many an artist who could make a decent living by specializing in paperback covers. My dad liked spy and mystery novels and would go to every garage and yard sale to find them. Great covers too, with half naked women, lots of big breasts, big guns and such. Definitely a different focus!

That yellow gown is NOT a night gown. It's an evening gown, and looks pretty 70s to me.

How fun! Love those covers! My best friend and I would read these by the score during summer vacation in the late 60s and early 70s. The library had them in twirl around racks near the front door. Every day, it would be horseback ride, pool, lunch, then library! Seems like many a "Jane Eyre" copy, but we devoured every one! I especially loved the ones that had ghosts!

I totally understand when you say none of your friends are interested in Vintage Gothic Romance. I know all too well. I really enjoyed your video because I love these Vintage Gothic Romance books. Thanks for sharing.

I have been collecting these books "women running from houses" for over 40 years. I had never read a single book but just loved the covers. A few back I started reading them and I really love them. Some are a bit slow, but in now way would I ever part with one of these gems. I have hundreds! I have most of those books in your video. Thanks for the video.

I love the strong teal colors that many of them have.

What is your favorite (to read)?

Thanks for the video. I love collecting these books.

Im danish and my mum collected these when I was a kid. I've been going nuts trying to figure out the name of the series for ages. And now that I have I'm losing my mind again cuz these aren't all the books I remember. Was there another series similar to this one??

which ones are truly horrifying?

I feel like most of these covers have a common theme of thin women running away from houses or castles. Lol

what happened to my comment?

Nice collection and you're right they can be very expensive online!

I’m fascinated by these books and this very specific trend/motif. I don’t know if I’d ever actually read one though.

Me! I came across a cover yesterday “the girl with no name” and now I’m hyper fixated on Gothic Romance covers…

Love these covers too... Although I've only read 4 or 5 in my lifetime, I enjoyed all of them... Good, rainy day reads :)
